BUG: Local user is not added to `vboxusers` #7

Closed SteveParson closed 5 years ago

SteveParson commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug After the install, the user is not a member of the vboxusers group. According to [Oracle|https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02.html#install-linux-vboxusers], any user that needs to access USB devices from Virtualbox guests needs to be part of this group.

To Reproduce

  1. Create a new box.
  2. Observe groups | grep vboxusers returns nothing.

Expected behavior I would expect the user to be added to the group. This can be done manually with usermod -aG <group> <username>. Note that after this action happens, the user will need to log out and back in for the change to happen.
